March Dog Walking Challenge

I'm walking 62K with my dog for Dementia UK

This March, I'm walking 62K with my dogs, Dottie and  Charlie, and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone. I'm taking on the challenge for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, and would be grateful for your support.

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund a new dementia specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour helping a family in the community, offering practical solutions and emotional support to cope with their loved one’s distressed behaviour.

Thank you!

Halfway through the month!

Sunday 16th Mar
We're just over halfway through the month and well on the way to our fundraising target. Thank you so much to those who have sponsored us so far. We had a few days off due to a busy week at work but despite this we're still on track to meet our distance target before the end of the month.

So far, so good!

Tuesday 4th Mar
So we're 4 days in and we've already clocked up 18kms. The sunny days and lighter evenings have definitely helped! Dottie wore her special Dementia UK bandana today to raise awareness as well as funds for this important cause. Thanks to all those that have sponsored us so far, I really do appreciate it 🐾

First walk of the challenge complete

Saturday 1st Mar
We took a walk in the sunshine today and stopped for a coffee and to feed the ducks along the way. We also met a little puppy on it's first ever walk who was very excited to meet Dottie and Charlie. Looking forward to more walks in the sunshine whilst it lasts! 

Thank you to my Sponsors
